Addressing the problem of theodicy - why a good God permits evil or more simply "Why do the righteous suffer" - it is a rich theological work setting out a variety of perspectives. It has been widely and often extravagantly praised for its literary qualities with Alfred Lord Tennyson calling it "the greatest poem of ancient and modern times".<br/><br/>LEC Bibliography No. 173.
